Rooted in Heritage

AWC was founded in 1909 as Theta Sigma Phi, an honorary student journalism fraternity at the University of Washington. These bright young women cultivated the foundation for what is now AWC—a strong national network of communicators in a broad range of disciplines.

Positioned to Excel

The common thread of all great leaders is a constant thirst for knowledge. Through our local chapter program, online business courses, and sessions at the AWC National Conference, AWC provides members with the training and leadership skills necessary to stay ahead in the ever-evolving communications landscape.
